RE: Chula Vista City Council Meeting July 23, 2019 Agenda # 15
Chula Vista Community Choice Aggregation Study
Vote YES to Accept the Chula Vista Feasibility Study of
Community Choice Aggregation Report.
July 21, 2019
Dear Mayor Casillas Salas and City Council,
Thank you for your ongoing and important leadership role in addressing the climate crisis in
Chula Vista, especially moving our city forward to a 100% clean energy future.
Chula Vista Partners in Courage urges you to vote YES to accept the Feasibility Study of
Community Choice Aggregation at the City Council meeting on July 23, 2019.
In our work to support implementation of the Chula Vista Climate Action Plan, Chula Vista
Partners in Courage has focused on getting the word out to residents about the importance of
cutting our greenhouse gas emissions from use of electricity, the second leading cause of our
greenhouse gas emissions in Chula Vista. We have also worked to raise awareness about
Community Choice Aggregation as a potential solution.
The 2017 Chula Vista Climate Action Plan commits to 100% Clean Energy by 2035, and the
necessary beginning steps to achieving that goal have been taken. The Sustainability
Commission has heard the Feasibility Study of CCA Report and has accepted the Report. They,
along with the Chula Vista Sustainability Department, recommend that the City Council accept
the report.
The Feasibility Study findings detail the economic and environmental benefits that Chula Vista
residents and businesses will have with CCA electricity procurement. The Study also analyzes
possible risks. Finally, the options for program structure, or governance, are outlined in the
study. The Feasibility Study contains the relevant information that we need to design an energy
procurement program in Chula Vista that meets our goal of 100% Clean Energy by 2035.
We look forward to continuing to partner with you in creating a stronger, more resilient clean
energy future in Chula Vista.
Sincerely,
Carolyn Scofield
